From: "Steven Rostedt (VMware)" <rostedt@xxxxxxxxxxx> Add a way to keep ref counts on accesses to instances. This way, another structure can hold a reference to an instance, and if the user frees that instance, it wont be freed until the other structure frees it. That is, if we create a structure called tracefs_hist, that takes an instance on its creation. It can hold a reference to that instance, and make sure that it does not get freed: instance = tracefs_instance_create("my_instance"); hist = tracefs_hist_alloc(instance, "sched", "sched_wakeup", "pid", 0); tracefs_instance_free(instance); tracefs_hist_start(hist); [..] tracefs_hist_free(hist); Will not crash, as the tracefs_instance_free() will not free the instance as there's still a reference on it, and tracefs_hist_start() will still have that reference. But then when the tracefs_hist_free() is called, then the instance will get freed.
